[APML] OT: The Merope Nebula in Taurus

["Chris Schur" <cschur@therim.com>]

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know or suspect, film photography for us is one of many of
our passions on photographing the night sky.  We also image with CCD,
webcams, and Digital SLR's as well.  We simply cannot get enough of the
night sky.  Recently, we acquired a Canon 10D digital camera, and I have
been experimenting with it on the 12.5 inch Newtonian.  There is a huge draw
toward this camera, it has a huge nearly film sized chip, produces 37mB
files, and is FAST.  Here is one of our very first experiments with this new
camera, a shot of the blue tendrils around the star Merope in the Pleaides.
It is merely a taste of what can be done with this camera, this is a full
color image, at high resolution in only 10 minutes!
